The Stand 21 Safety Foundation's 8th Annual "Racing Goes Safer" driver safety seminar at the Acura Long Beach Grand Prix will feature David Hobbs as its special guest feature.
Hobbs is a versatile veteran racer and TV expert race analyst. He will discuss motorsports safety from a unique perspective based on a full career both behind the wheel and behind the microphone, sharing stories from his book “HOBBO, Motor Racer, Motor Mouth.”
The free event—which is open to racers, crews, families and sanctioning bodies interested in practical advice on how to better protect themselves from dangers at the track—will be held on Saturday, April 13, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., followed by informal conversation and a light lunch.
This year's program will also include a tribute to Dr. Bob Hubbard, the inventor of the HANS device, who recently passed away. Tom Gideon of NASCAR Safety will add his recollections of working with Bob on lab testing of the HANS.
In addition, Jeff Horton, IndyCar's Director of Engineering and Safety will describe the tools and process used in The Evolution of an Indy Car Headrest.
The Stand 21 Safety Foundation is a non-profit organization created by Stand 21 Racewear Founder and President Yves Morizot to help educate racers on better safety practices. The seminar is made possible through the support of Eibach, the SAE of Southern California, and the Long Beach Grand Prix Association.
